MUSTARD-=PACKAGE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 389,365, datedSeptember 11, 1888.

(No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WILLIAM P. CRARY, of Brooklyn, in the county ofKings and State of New York, have invented a new and ImprovedMustard-Package, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription.

The object of my invention is to provide prepared mustard as an articleof trade put up in sealed packages, which when opened may be placeddirectly upon the table; and to this end my invention consists of apackage, preferably of glass, having a lid fitted upon the same,combined with a sheet of lead and a sheet of paper or other materialplaced between the lead and the contents of the package, and the packagesealed at the edge of the lid by a strip of paper or other suitablematerial secured by adhesive material both to the lid and the body ofthe package.

Reference is to be had to theaccompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in both the figures.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a package constructed, closed, andsealed in accordance with my invention; and Fig. 2 is a sectional viewof the same.

The package A is by preference of glass. Upon it is placed a lid orcover, B, formed with an offset, a, to [it inside of the upper edge ofthe package. Itis also formed with a notch, b, to receive amustard-spoon. Upon the contents O of the package A is placed a layer,D, of paper. Upon this is placed a layer, E, of sheet-lead. The saidsheets D E are folded down over the edge of the package A, as shown atd. The cover or lid 13 isthen placed upon the sheet-lead and sheet ofpaper and pressed down, so that the offset a presses the sheet-lead E,and sheet D, 'of paper, into the body of the package, forming the folds(1'. Over and around the edge of the lidBand the package A is thenplaced the strip F,of paper or other fabric, which laps over the loweredges of the sheets D E, as shown at c, and laps upon the top of thecover or lid B, as shown at c, and said strip is secured to the body ofthe package, and also to the edge and top of the lid B, by paste, glue,or other adhesive material. In this manner the package is sealedairtight, and the strip F serves also to hold the lid B in place uponthe package, and by re moving said strip thelid may be lifted off andthe sheets D E, of lead and paper, removed, when the package andcontents are ready for the table.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent- The package A, having a lid, 13, to fit uponthe same, in combination with the sheet E, of sheetdead, the sheet D,placed between the lead and the contents of the package, and the edgestrip, F, placed around the lid and body of the package and secured toboth by adhesive material, substantially as described.
